Coins of the World

A series of ‘ drawings’ of the artist’s favourite coins which have been enlarged to the size of satellite dishes for closer examination. The images are punched into pewter and tin using a hammer and roundel, a method used to make ancient coins. The kaleidoscopic patterns and lines which make up the coins are transient and dance with the light – inspired by the swirling interlaced ‘guilloché’ security patterns found on bank notes and watermarks.
